}

Example

EC2 Tags are typically provided in a list. You can also include useful information in a tag by providing it with a value using the Ref or Fn::GetAtt intrinsic functions. For example:

"Tags": [
   { "Key" : "Role", "Value": "Test Instance" },
   { "Key" : "Application", "Value" : { "Ref" : "AWS::StackName"} }
]

More examples of tags are provided in the EC2 resources that use tags, and on the Amazon EC2 Snippets page.
